Context

A growing platform on a legacy setup

Shareitt’s marketplace, points system and mobile apps ran on infrastructure sized for an earlier stage of the product. Costs grew faster than usage, and every change carried operational risk.

Solution

Same product, 98% lower bill

An audit of unused resources, right-sizing of instances and storage, then a step-by-step re-architecture onto containers and Infrastructure as Code, with monitoring in place from day one.

What was done

01

Audit

Inventory of every running resource, its load and its cost. Unused and duplicated services identified.

02

Right-sizing

Instances, storage and managed services matched to actual traffic instead of peak assumptions.

03

Re-architecture

Workloads moved to containers, environments defined as code, monitoring and alerting added.

Technology stack

Rebuilt as code, operated with monitoring
